You are leading a predictive infrastructure project that is currently in the executing phase. A stakeholder who was not involved in initial planning requests a significant change to the project scope that would add new deliverables. The stakeholder insists the change is critical and wants it implemented immediately. What is the most appropriate action to take?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. All change requests in predictive projects must be submitted through the integrated change control process, where they are evaluated for impact on scope, schedule, cost, quality, and other constraints before approval. This ensures systematic evaluation and proper governance. Implementing changes immediately (option B) bypasses necessary controls and could negatively impact the project baseline without proper analysis. Automatically rejecting the change (option C) is inappropriate—changes should be evaluated objectively, and some changes may be beneficial or necessary. Adding it to the issue log (option D) is incorrect because change requests have a specific process and should not be logged as issues, which are problems that have already occurred.
